What if avoiding the sun carries health risks of its own?In this episode, Drs. May and Tim revisit the relationship between sunlight, cholesterol, statins, and longevity. They unpack a large Swedish observational study linking low sun exposure with higher mortality and question whether conventional advice has oversimplified the role of sunlight in human health.From vitamin D and cholesterol to skin cancer concerns and cardiovascular risk, this conversation explores why the full picture may be more complicated than “sun bad, statins good.”In this episode:What a Swedish study found about sun exposure and mortalityWhy observational research shows association—not causationHow sunlight supports vitamin D production and other biological processesThe complicated relationship between cholesterol, statins, and heart healthWhy absolute risk matters when evaluating medical treatmentsHow fear-based health messaging can overlook important tradeoffsThe importance of discussing your individual risks with your physicianThe takeaway?

#478: The Keto Cure: How Dr. Boz Reversed Chronic Illness—Starting with Her Mom
In this encore episode, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh sit down with Dr. Annette Bosworth, the internist behind the Dr. Boz YouTube channel and bestselling author of Anyway You Can and ketoCONTINUUM. After decades of telling patients to eat low-fat and load up on "heart-healthy" grains, Dr. Boz hit a wall when her 71-year-old mother's cancer treatment failed. Out of options, she put her mom on a strict ketogenic diet—and watched her cancer markers drop without chemo, along with several other chronic conditions. That experience reshaped her entire practice, from managing symptoms to reversing disease at the metabolic root.Topics include:The moment a patient's question about MD Anderson and ketones made Dr. Boz rethink everythingWalking her mother through ketosis after 69 rounds of chemoWhy inflammation is the common thread behind cancer, autoimmune disease, memory loss, and diabetesKetones vs. glucose as fuel, and what that shift does to the brainWhy she borrowed group-meeting accountability from addiction medicine to help patients stay ketoBurnout, disillusionment with corporate medicine, and finding a better pathThe ketoCONTINUUM: a step-by-step framework for staying consistently keto for lifeWhat You'll LearnHow therapeutic ketosis differs from "keto for weight loss"Why the advice most physicians were trained on may be making chronic disease worseWhat a doctor does when the science she was taught fails someone she lovesPractical ways to start and stick with a ketogenic lifestyleKey TakeawaySometimes the most powerful medicine isn't a prescription. Dr. Boz's story is a case for questioning what we were taught, following the evidence, and giving the body what it needs to heal itself.About the GuestDr. Annette Bosworth, MD, is an internal medicine physician, educator, and founder of Meaningful Medicine in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

#476: Is It Anxiety—or MCAS? Understanding the Highly Sensitive Body with Michelle Shapiro, RD
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome can affect nearly every system in the body—and its symptoms are often dismissed, misdiagnosed, or mistaken for anxiety. In this deeply personal conversation, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh sit down with integrative and functional registered dietitian Michelle Shapiro, RD, to unpack MCAS, histamine intolerance, and the experience of living in a “highly sensitive body.” Michelle shares how rapid weight loss, nutrient depletion, mold exposure, long COVID, and an injury left her increasingly ill and eventually bedbound. She explains why common wellness protocols can make highly sensitive patients worse, how mast cells interact with the nervous, vascular, immune, and connective-tissue systems, and why meaningful care must be personalized—not pulled from a one-size-fits-all protocol. May also opens up about her own MCAS journey, including years of unexplained symptoms, hormonal and genetic factors, severe post-COVID illness, and the trial-and-error process that finally helped her connect the dots. In This Episode Michelle’s path from rapid weight loss and chronic panic symptoms to functional nutrition and MCAS advocacy What mast cells do—and why MCAS can create symptoms across multiple body systems Why flushing, itching, reflux, dizziness, insomnia, migraines, palpitations, anxiety-like episodes, and food reactions may seem unrelated The difference between ordinary allergy symptoms, histamine intolerance, and a broader mast-cell activation pattern Why MCAS can be difficult to diagnose and why laboratory testing may not capture an active flare How nervous-system dysregulation, blood-flow changes, connective tissue, immune activation, trauma, stress, and hormones can interact The overlap among MCAS, POTS, hypermobility, and long COVID Why aggressive detoxes, IV therapies, restrictive diets, or popular supplements may backfire in highly sensitive bodies The role of antihistamines, mast-cell stabilizers, DAO support, food freshness, and individualized risk-benefit decisions Why every medication and supplement should “fight for its life” before earning a place in a care plan How validation, pattern recognition, and a slower, personalized approach can help interrupt the symptom snowball About Michelle Shapiro, RD Michelle Shapiro is an Integrative and Functional Registered Dietitian and founder of Michelle Shapiro Nutrition LLC. Her practice specializes in supporting people with complex chronic conditions, including MCAS, POTS, histamine intolerance, Long COVID, autoimmune conditions, and gastrointestinal issues. After experiencing her own health challenges with Long COVID, MCAS, POTS, and thyroid issues, Michelle brought that firsthand perspective into her work helping patients better understand complex and highly sensitive bodies. Michelle is also the host of the Quiet the Diet podcast and creator of the Highly Sensitive Body™ Hub, a resource dedicated to MCAS, POTS, hypermobility, and Long COVID.

#475: From Breast Cancer Patient to Healthcare Disruptor with Chloe Harrouche
SPONSORED BY NURP Nurp is algorithmic trading designed specifically for busy professionals who don't have time to watch markets. Check out start.nurp.com/doctors to learn more. --- What happens when the healthcare system built to treat illness leaves patients feeling unsupported, overwhelmed, and responsible for coordinating their own care? At just 23 years old, Chloe Harrouche was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although she had specialists guiding each part of her treatment, no one was managing the complete picture. After treatment, she encountered another major gap: little meaningful guidance on prevention, nutrition, fertility, or long-term wellness. That experience inspired Chloe to co-found The Lanby, a modern concierge medical practice designed to make primary care more proactive, coordinated, and patient-centered. In this conversation, Chloe joins May and Tim to discuss how her experience as a patient shaped her vision for a different kind of healthcare. They explore the shortcomings of traditional fee-for-service medicine, the value of coordinated care, and why prevention and wellness should be central to primary care—not an afterthought. In This Episode Chloe’s breast cancer diagnosis at age 23 Navigating treatment without anyone coordinating the full picture Why traditional medicine often prioritizes treatment over prevention The lack of support patients receive after surviving a serious illness Chloe’s difficult fertility journey and path to motherhood Why women frequently place their own health last The problems created by rushed, fragmented medical care How membership-based medicine can better align patients and providers The role of nutrition, wellness, and care coordination in primary care How The Lanby is working to create a more supportive patient experience About Chloe Harrouche Chloe Harrouche is the co-founder and CEO of The Lanby, a modern concierge medical practice in New York City that combines primary care, functional medicine, wellness, and care coordination. Her experience as a young breast cancer survivor gave her firsthand insight into the gaps patients face when navigating complex medical care. Drawing on her background in bioengineering, healthcare strategy, and technology consulting, Chloe helped build The Lanby around a proactive, relationship-based approach to health.

#474: Doc Tales with Cocktails: Salad Mafia Debates, Crazy News & KFC Jellybeans
SPONSORED BY NURP Nurp is algorithmic trading designed specifically for busy professionals who don't have time to watch markets. Check out start.nurp.com/doctors to learn more. --- What happens when the Salad Mafia comes for Tim, cockroach milk enters the conversation, and KFC decides fried chicken should be a jelly bean flavor? In this episode of Doc Tales with Cocktails, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh are back with another round of unfiltered conversation, questionable food choices, bizarre headlines, and plenty of rabbit holes. They kick things off with the online debate sparked by Tim’s ongoing war with vegetables—and why conversations about carnivore, vegan, and other diets so quickly turn into an all-or-nothing battle over what everyone should eat. From there, things get progressively stranger. May puts Tim through a round of true-or-false stories involving surprisingly nutrient-dense cockroach “milk,” an unbelievable plastic-surgery stalking story, and some seriously bizarre news. They also dive into a serious discussion about an Idaho shooting, armed citizens, self-defense, and the details Tim believes were missing from early media coverage. And then comes the taste test nobody asked for. May somehow gets her hands on KFC-inspired jelly beans flavored like fried chicken, sweet corn, and gravy—and Tim's reaction is about what you'd expect. They follow those up with Carolina Pulled Pork Pringles and Fiesta Salsa Ritz Bits, complete with their usual ingredient-label commentary. Along the way, they get into stalking and obsession, Fauci and congressional investigations, Substack rabbit holes, mast cell resources, and the drink of the day: locally made Siesta Key Toasted Coconut Rum. It’s weird news, food experiments, cultural debates, medicine, politics, and the kind of completely unpredictable conversation that makes Doc Tales with Cocktails exactly what it is. In This Episode The “Salad Mafia” and why diet debates get so heated Carnivore vs. vegan diet dogma An Idaho shooting and the debate over armed self-defense Is cockroach milk actually a thing?
